Chapter 64 Residual Feelings and Hatreds, Things Are People and Everything is Rest (2)
Guo Furong laughed and said, "Lost? Can the county lord's hairpin be left in a guard's room? Are you undressing here? β
When there was a lot of trouble in the house, Huang Jinbao shouted in a sharp voice: "The emperor has arrived." β
Without waiting for Guo Furong to come out to greet her, the official Zhao Zhen had already walked into the house quickly.
Zhao Zhen asked angrily: "Queen, why did you come to the palace for no reason to make trouble?" β
Guo Furong said with a face full of grievances: "Official, why don't you ask the county lord of Le'an and the envoy Di Shu what good things they have done, but you scold the concubines like this?" β
Zhao Zhen asked, "What's wrong with them?" β
Guo Furong said: "The envoy of Di Shu and the lord of Le'an have been privately conferred and received, and they have long had a private relationship, and this pearl hairpin is the evidence. β
Zhao Zhen turned to Ye Pei and asked, "What's going on?" β
"This is indeed my pearl hairpin, which was left here by the secret envoy Di."
Guo Furong said: "You just said that you have married Di Qing as a brother and sister with a different surname, and Lang has the intention of having a concubine, why don't you ask the official family to marry you early?" and lest the royal reputation be tarnished here. β
Zhao Zhen's brows furrowed even tighter when he heard this, and Ye Pei had no choice but to say to Zhao Zhen: "Official, I have a reason to explain to you alone. β
Zhao Zhen said: "In this case, you go back to Funing Hall with me." β
Guo Furong stopped: "No, at this time, everyone has obtained all the stolen goods, and the county lord of Le'an is not allowed to quibble." If you have any truth, tell it in front of the officials and me. I'm the master of the harem, can't I still administer justice for you? β
Ye Pei saw that Guo Furong was blindly blocking it, so he had to look at Zhao Zhen with his eyes. Zhao Zhen pulled Ye Pei to the inner room and said, "If you have any explanation, just tell me and listen." β
Ye Pei was pursued by the "Yin and Yang Shuangsha" that day, and happened to meet Di Qing to help her dodge, and then the two of them became brothers and sisters one by one.
Zhao Zhen looked at Ye Pei and said, "You mean that you and Di Qing have known each other since outside the palace?" β
Ye Pei nodded, and Zhao Zhen said again, "Then why didn't you tell me about the relationship between the two of you earlier?" β
"It's not that I deliberately concealed it, but I didn't dare to speak out at that time, lest the Empress Dowager Zhang Xian be suspicious."
Although this reason has some truth, Zhao Zhen still feels far-fetched, so he said: "You are not allowed to hide anything from me in the future, and you must tell me as soon as possible so that you will not be so disrespectful." β
Seeing Zhao Zhen's serious expression, Ye Pei pulled Zhao Zhen and said, "Sixth brother, I know." β
Zhao Zhen came out and said to Guo Furong: "Today's matter has been ascertained, but it is just that the pearl hairpin of the lord of Le'an fell, Di Qing picked it up and did not return it in time, the queen does not have to make a fuss." β
Guo Furong glared at Ye Pei, she didn't expect Ye Pei to be so interested, so she fooled the matter in a few words, and the official family no longer pursued it. She thought to herself: "I still underestimated Ye Pei. β
Now I had to say: "That being said, if all the guards are in the palace to pick up property, then it will be repaid?" Di Qing must be severely punished today. β
Zhao Zhen was a little angry, and said, "Are you an ordinary guard soldier when Di Qing is it?" He has a lot of credit for saving the driver, even if it's your father, your grandfather doesn't have such a credit as him! Now that Di Qingbai is the privy deputy envoy, and the official is at the head of the military attachΓ©, how can you be slandered by a harem woman? β
Guo Furong was so frightened that she didn't dare to be rampant anymore, and said with a smile on her face: "I also thought that the Lord of Le'an and the envoy Di Shu would not do anything dirty, but now it is one

If outsiders don't know what to do, it will damage the reputation of the county lord, why not take advantage of the marriage between the two today to achieve a good thing. β
"Privy Envoy Di has just been promoted today, and he hasn't even settled his home yet, how can he give him a marriage? Wait for him to go out of the palace like this, I have my own arrangements! Don't worry about it! Saying that, Zhao Zhen didn't wait for Guo Furong to say anything more, and walked directly out of the door.
"Congratulations!" Empress Guo said a blessing to Zhao Zhen's distant back, stood up and glanced at Ye Pei, and thought in her heart: "Hmph, count you ruthless!" Next time, it's not so easy to let you go! β
"Let's go!" Guo Furong instructed the thrush and drove away.
There were only two people left in the house, Ye Pei and Di Qing.
Di Qing said: "Sister, when did you offend the queen?" I'm afraid the days ahead won't be easy, you have to be more patient in everything. β
Ye Pei said indignantly: "When did I offend her!" I don't know why she's an enemy of me. Fortunately, it didn't hurt my brother this time. β
Di Qing inserted the bead hairpin back into Ye Pei's head, and said warmly: "After I go, the queen mother can't hurt me no matter how big she is." But I can't rest assured that my sister is alone in the palace, my brother can't protect you all the time, you have to be more careful. β
"Second Brother Di, don't worry, I can take care of myself."
Saying that the two separated, Di Qing left the palace and didn't mention it for the time being.
Besides, Zhao Zhen was still sullen when he returned to Funing Palace.
Chen Zhongyi was rewarded by the queen's mother, and he couldn't help but say something good for her. persuaded Zhao Zhen and said: "Official, isn't there a contradiction between the queen mother and the county lord of Le'an just to eat your jealousy?" You must be evenly wet with rain and dew, and balance these women in the harem, so that they can live in harmony and have fewer children. β
Zhao Zhen said: "I haven't accepted Ye Pei as a concubine, the queen can't tolerate her, if I accept ten or eight concubines in the future, won't the queen make a fuss?" How can there ever be a queen like her who can't tolerate people? β
Chen Zhongyi smiled flatteringly: "What the official family said is that the queen is still young and has a little temper. It's also because you've never spent the night with her, so the queen always holds her breath. Today, you also punished her, you can't let the ministers really think that the palace is not peaceful, if you stay in the Kunning Palace today, you will not let others speak. β
Zhao Zhen looked at Chen Zhongyi and pondered, "Why do you keep speaking for Guo Furong today?" Did you take any advantage from her? β
Chen Zhongyi was so frightened that he quickly knelt down, "The official family is clear, the villain is all for the official family, and he doesn't dare to be a little selfish!" The villain's mind can be seen by the sun and the moon! β
Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "You don't dare to have two hearts!" You go to the queen, and I will spend the night with her. β
Chen Zhongyi happily asked for an order. Guo Furong got the news and was so happy that she rewarded Chen Zhongyi with another hundred taels of silver.
Guo Furong's nurse Xu Shi had already helped her calculate, today is a good day to plant dragon seeds, and offered her a dose of Guanyin Sending Seed Soup to drink, ready to conceive a dragon heir in one fell swoop.
Guo Furong hid two more Spring Palace atlases under the pillow, and instructed Thrush and Cuiping to prepare good wine and food. Guo Furong is proud in her heart, everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.
At dinner, the official Zhao Zhen sat and walked to the Kunning Palace, and the queen Guo Furong personally greeted him outside the door.
"Official." Guo Furong is called amorous.
Zhao Zhen didn't like her twisted appearance, only
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
said: "The queen doesn't have to be formal. β
Guo Furong followed Zhao Zhen in, served and cleaned her hands, and poured wine herself, doing everything smoothly.
Zhao Zhen was soft-hearted, and felt that since he married her, he did not fulfill his responsibilities as a husband, and he was ashamed of her. I also remembered that Chen Zhongyi said that the competition for favor in the harem was because he did not achieve even rain and dew, and he could not escape the blame for today's incident.
Therefore, Zhao Zhen said softly to Guo Furong: "The queen has a heart, I was busy with political affairs some time ago and ignored your feelings, and I will often come to Kunning Hall in the future." β
Guo Furong was even more moved when she heard this, and threw herself into Zhao Zhen's arms and said with tears in her eyes: "With the words of the official family, the concubine will not be wronged in her heart." β
"I have wronged the queen today, and I naturally can't blindly favor you in front of outsiders."
Guo Furong said: "The concubine knows. The concubine has just presided over the middle palace, and there are also things that are not done properly. β
"The queen is so sensible, I am very relieved. Alright, let's eat. β
Guo Furong smiled, got up and prepared for Zhao Zhen again, "Official, you can taste this scarlet sheep's head, it is a famous dish in Sichuan and Shu, and it should be cooked with a whole sheep's head." β
Zhao Zhen tasted it, and it was so spicy that he quickly drank two sips of wine. He looked at the table full of fatty and greasy things, and felt that none of them were worth chopsticks.
He suddenly remembered the bowl of cold melon keel soup that Ye Pei had stewed for him, and he felt light and bitter at the time, but now he recalled it with a mouth full of sweetness.
Zhao Zhen held up his chopsticks and said: "This dish is really luxurious, it is better for the queen to use it less in the future." β
Guo Furong didn't hear the deep meaning, "The concubine is fashionable at home and uses more than a dozen hot dishes for each meal, but when she enters the palace, she feels that the food in the palace is tasteless." Forget about the emptiness of the official family's harem before, since the concubines are here, it is necessary to let the official family enjoy the thick taste of those ointments. β
Chen Zhongyi said to the side: "The queen doesn't know anything, the official family has been weak since she was a child, and she must eat a light diet according to the instructions of the imperial doctor. β
Guo Furong then understood, "Oh, so that's the case, official, then I'll ask Thrush to remove these dishes and replace them with some porridge and side dishes, right?" β
Zhao Zhen said: "No need, that's too wasteful." β
Guo Furong disagreed, "The taste of the official family is important, and under the whole world, it is not the king's land." It's just a few dozen dishes, why should the official family be distressed? As he spoke, he instructed Thrush and Cuiping to prepare.
Zhao Zhen frowned and said, "I said there was no need!" β
Guo Furong saw that Zhao Zhen was angry, so she stopped.
Zhao Zhen felt that he shouldn't be angry about these little things, so he said warmly: "Hezhong, Huainan and other places have been famine, I don't know how many people are starving at this moment, I am the lord of the world, not for the benefit of these people, but here extravagance and waste, how can I bear it?" β
Guo Furong lowered her eyebrows and said, "The concubine knows that she is wrong. The official family cares about the people, and it is really the holy lord of the Ming monarch. β
"Okay, the queen has some more food, I'm already full."
Guo Furong didn't dare to say anything more, and lowered her head to eat something.
These dishes, which she usually thought were very sweet, felt tasteless at this time, so she only ate a few bites in a hurry and put down her chopsticks, and ordered someone to remove the utensils.
Zhao Zhen found an idle book in the library and looked at it with a match. Guo Furong was afraid that she would say the wrong thing again, and she didn't know what topic to start with, and the scene was cold and embarrassing.
